Hotel The Edition, London
The London EDITION in Fitzrovia is a masterclass in blending history with modern sophistication. Housed in a series of five grand Georgian townhouses, the building was originally transformed into the Berners Hotel in 1909. It once served as a social hotspot for high society, famously hosting figures like King Edward VII and Carl Fabergé before being restored by Ian Schrager in 2013.
The hotel’s design is a striking dialogue between the old and the new. While the lobby boasts 18-foot-high ornate plastered ceilings and gold accents that whisper of its Edwardian past, the furnishings lean toward contemporary minimalism. A fun detail for keen observers is the lobby’s white ceiling, which features a single statue painted with a splash of red lipstick—a cheeky nod to the hotel’s personality.
Public spaces act as the building’s heart, with the Punch Room offering a reservations-only, intimate experience centered on the traditional maritime drink, and Berners Tavern serving as a spectacular, chandelier-lit dining hall. Guest rooms are intentionally sleek, designed to evoke the clean, high-end feel of a private yacht cabin.
Location-wise, you are perfectly placed for a city break. The hotel is within walking distance of the world-class shopping on Oxford and Regent Streets, as well as the cultural treasures of the British Museum. Whether you want to explore the lively bars of Soho or the quiet charm of Marylebone, the hotel serves as an elegant, central sanctuary in the middle of London’s bustling West End.
Expert reviews
“Step through the glass cube entryway and into the soaring marble lobby with its frothy belle epoque ceilings. Don’t let the scenesters in the lobby put you off. The friendly, unpretentious service and beautiful public spaces make for a standout stay.”
“Style and image are the draw at the London Edition Hotel where Michelin starred chefs and hip bars complement the boutique property’s sleek, contemporary image. Located in a desirable location just north of Oxford Street, the grand boutique hotel occupies a spot in the super central.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in London.
“From the outside, The London EDITION looks like a period Georgian hotel with its columned portico and intricate moldings. But notice the all-glass entrance doors? They are a hint of something more modern inside.”
“The London EDITION strikes the right balance between edgy and elegant. The minimalist rooms will appeal to lovers of modern luxury, as will the sultry Punch Room bar, while the magnificent Jason Atherton restaurant – with its glorious 19th-century ceiling – is an ode to the hotel’s historic past.”

Expensive, unsafe, and sleepless — a very disappointing experience.
The design and common areas are beautiful. That’s it.
Serious maintenance and safety issues. The room door repeatedly got stuck and I needed staff to open it or let me out. Strong paint fumes made it impossible to sleep. Bathroom was not clean (hairs present). Extremely loud mechanical noise from the toilet and also from the shower, not disclosed at check-in. Staff later confirmed they were aware of these issues but still assigned the room. Completely unacceptable for the price.

Great location and nice hotel with good vibes. However, vs. manitnens and service, price is high
We stayed ~8 months ago, and unfortunately, we encountered some issues that we were surprised to find unresolved during our recent visit. One of the two elevators was out of service 8 months ago during our previous stay, We were surprosed to see that the Same elevator is still not working, ~8 months later! This often resulted in long wait times, which was quite inconvenient and frustrating. Additionally, on both of the mornings we stayed, our room was not cleaned at all. We had to call the Recepation and remind the staff to clean it which was rather disappointing. Given that the cost of staying is over $1000 a night, we did not expect this level of service. to point that they gave 50BP comp, which is nice, but not reflecting the cost or the expecation from this level of hotel.

There should be more shelves in the bathroom and a smaller basin. The hand mirror wasn’t the best - cut my finger on th
The location was very good.
Everywhere was very dark including the restaurant. It was hard to read the menu. The lifts were very dark. Not enough bright lights in the room if needed.

Good location & interior, price is a bit expensive for what you get
The location and interior
There is no soundproof and our room was in front of service rooms so you always hear slamming of doors at all times.

The staff ! Frankie the bar manager is outstanding in terms of skills and friendliness, the tall guy with black hair is a role model for hospitality
The fact that you allow people into the breakfast room in sports clothes even coming sweaty right from sports. This completely inappropriate for a hotel your class

Beautiful property in the heart of central London. Boutique feel with larger hotel amenities including a great restaurant. Close to the Elisabeth line for easy transfers from Heathrow a definite plus.

Very Good.
I loved the location, the overall design, the staff, the atmosphere, and especially the E-Bidet/Shower Toilet/Japanese Toilet.
The price, the E-Bidet/Shower-Toilet/Japanese Toilet aren't available in all types of rooms (I need to get a high-tiered room to get it, which doesn't help the price), and it's not classified as a "Genius" hotel, so my booking.com discount isn't recognized by the hotel.

Perfect location - excellent service. Great hotel. Would definitely stay again!
There was a slight glitch when we first checked in. Bookings.com had conflicting information as to the room description. We booked a Deluxe Queen guest room. Bookings listed the size of the bed as King - turns out it was a Queen. The Editions hotel upgraded us to a king room - even though they did not have too. Fabulous service!!! Make sure you check all info with the hotel - don't rely on info received from Bookings.com.
Everything was fantastic! No complaints about anything!

Diasppointing and lost it's edge
Really lost its edge. Probably 4th time there. Room looking tatty. Holes /chips in corridor walls. Bar furniture tired. Bar service slow ( bar was not busy) . Uses the worlds noisiest suction system for toilet and shower so don't get up a for a 3 am pee or the whole of Oxford Street will know.There are much better places now for the cost. Makes me sad as it used to be great

Amazing!
The lobby is amazing and very lively with lot of good vibes, the rooms are clean and modern, the location of the hotel is very convenient, the restaurant and the pub in the hotel are iconic.
lighting in the rooms are so dim. there is no difference in size or view between the king loft room and the deluxe king room despite the difference in the price.

Fabulous hotel in great location
Location, ambience, decor, bar, staff, room, concierge, breakfast were everything we were looking for.
Room size was slightly smaller than compared with other hotels in similar location. Pillows were fresh but too soft.

A corporate feeling hotel full of rooms and lack of spark.
The rooms inside were lovely. Staff were nice. Steak at Berner's Tavern nice. But not the best. Location ok-ish?
The staff as a whole were lovely and attentive, but perhaps not a huge amount of management to ensure everyone is on the same page and everything was running smoothly. A few details I picked up on - I asked for standard things like transfers to be booked which they were, but after I had to follow up as well as someone not assuring me of what time I needed to leave to be at Heathrow in time. felt quite nervous, and never actually met the concierge who was meant to be managing everything. (Traveling to NZ is a long way to go and needs lots of planning to make it as easy as possible). Also, I felt like it was a very corporate hotel and just a building full of rooms and bad paint jobs on the outside. To be fair I have stayed at some of the best hotels in London, so perhaps my standards are too high. But I would expect more of the Edition having stayed in their New York Hotel.
